20100101

Today we say good bye to the first decade of the 21st Century and welcome the first year of the second. The past ten years have seen huge changes in the world, and the last year was no exception. So as we start the new year and the new decade let us hope that the changes we will see will be for the better. Maybe this time sanity, reason, logic, intelligence and common sense will win out.

Best wishes to everyone for the coming year, particularly all of my friends from 2600 and the hacker world in general.

About Me

Before you ask I’m not, to use Voltair’s phrasing, “that kind of hacker”. I’m not a scripter or skiddie or what ever you want to call those sorts of idiots; nor am I “that kind of hacker“, I’m not a black hat, cracker or any of the other names you might have for the people who give hackers and hacking a bad name.
What I am is a reasonably knowledgeable, talented and opinionated child of the ‘information’ or ‘computer’ age. I am an infovore with a desire to learn and know and do. I am a technologist (and have been since I was allowed to use my parents’ computer back in the 80’s. I am an explorer, a researcher and a student of the electronic world.
If you don’t like what I have to say, there is the rest of the Web for you to go to; if you disagree with me, at least try to mount a half-way decent argument based on facts.
